Ke Yin's beautiful eyes shimmered with cold light, "Very well, this immortal emperor will stay here and see who it is!"
After making up her mind, Ke Yin flew out of the Hall of Time and Space, returned to the Eight Heavens Immortal City, and led three great experts at the great emperor realm twelfth level to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, Ke Yin, Yin Tai, and three elders, a total of five great experts at the great emperor realm twelfth level, stood guard outside the Hall of Time and Space, exuding a cold killing intent!
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Rou and the others, who were traversing through the time-space tunnel, were completely unaware that they were approaching danger…
The next day, at the Chen hour, as the sun rose in the east.
Tan Yun and his group stopped flying above the sea.
Looking down, they saw a magnificent residence floating in the vast and deep ocean below, through layers of misty clouds.
Though it was called a residence, it was actually a palace connected to pavilions and buildings outside the main hall.
This palace was the renowned Nine Heavens Secret Manor, a forbidden area for the immortals of the Eight Heavens Immortal Realm.
Ouyang Qianqian looked at Tan Yun with tenderness, transmitting her voice: "Why is the Nine Heavens Secret Manor not built inside the Eight Heavens Immortal City? Could it be that the sea beneath the Nine Heavens Secret Manor can nurture the Immortal Spring?"
Tan Yun praised her with a voice transmission: "You're really smart; you guessed correctly."
"Did you see the pavilions outside the Nine Heavens Secret Manor?"
Ouyang Qianqian nodded slightly, "These pavilions, could they possibly hide some secrets?"
"Yes." Tan Yun explained: "There are a total of one hundred and eighty pavilions outside the secret manor palace, and these pavilions are arranged in a trapping formation to absorb the Immortal Spring."
"As long as the Immortal Spring nurtured by heaven and earth emerges from the sea beneath the Nine Heavens Secret Manor, this formation will draw the Immortal Spring into the secret manor."
Ouyang Qianqian admiredly transmitted, "You know so much! Did you learn all this when you were the primeval supreme?"
Tan Yun shook his head, perplexed, "No, I've been able to read and learn any technique without a master since I was born countless eons ago."
"That's amazing! It seems you are truly favored by the heavens." Ouyang Qianqian transmitted.
Tan Yun smiled and then conveyed to everyone: "Originally, it would take us only one day to reach here from the Eight Heavens Immortal City, but you all wanted to enjoy the scenery, and it took us a full four days to arrive."
"Now it's not the time to discuss the beauty of the vast ocean; we need to get down to business."
"You all enter the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens, and I will go meet the deputy city lord of the Eight Heavens Immortal City."
Everyone understood that the deputy city lord, Lu Bingyan, practiced charm techniques. If she were to stay by Tan Yun's side, she might be controlled and become a burden to him, so they all nodded and vanished, appearing in the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens.
"Whoosh!"
Tan Yun swooped down, passing through layers of clouds, and landed in a pavilion outside the Nine Heavens Secret Manor.
"Tsk tsk, what a handsome man." With a voice that could make any man weak in the knees, a girl around twenty appeared before Tan Yun like a ripple in the water.
The girl wore a red dress as thin as a cicada's wing, and beneath the thin fabric, her graceful figure could be vaguely seen.
She was a charming beauty, and any man who saw her would have an impulse to ravish her.
Seduction!
So alluring!
This girl was Lu Bingyan, the sworn sister of the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor, and also the deputy city lord of the Eight Heavens Immortal City.
Lu Bingyan looked at Tan Yun and giggled, her beautiful eyes sizing him up as if trying to see through his white robe.
"Little handsome guy, who are you? Did the immortal emperor sister send you to deliver the Immortal Spring?" Lu Bingyan threw a flirtatious glance at Tan Yun and took a step closer, extending a finger to trace circles on Tan Yun's chest.
